The two blue alternates they've used are retired. I've not seen anything official, but the general belief is they will get a new 3rd this year, likely to be unveiled shortly before the outdoor game in Chicago, where it will be first worn.

After Crosby got hit in the mouth this past season, they told the NHL they will never wear those jerseys again. They even paid a fine to the NHL to cancel the contract with the jerseys. The Pens actually wanted to burn them......that is not a joke.

As far as another thrid jersey...they have done the blue's.....the only thing left is traditional black and gold. That will most likely be next.

I've heard the same several times, but I've never actually seen quote anywhere. It may very well be the case (hence the rows of khaki colored seats at CEC), but I always raise a skeptical, Rock-like eyebrow when something is always relayed from a second or third-hand source.
